A Word from the Pastor How different it is on this Palm Sunday as compared with last year when we distributed blessed palms as parishioners drove by. While we still live with some restrictions, we are able to come together this year to praise God on this first day of Holy Week. Palm Sunday commemorates the triumphant arrival of Christ in Jerusalem, days before he was crucified. In the Gospels, Jesus entered Jerusalem riding a young donkey, and to the lavish praise of the townspeople who threw clothes, or possibly palms or small branches, in front of him as a sign of homage. This was a customary practice for people of great respect. Palm branches are widely recognized as a symbol of peace and victory, hence their use on Palm Sunday. The use of a donkey instead of a horse is highly symbolic, it represents the humble arrival of someone in peace, as opposed to arriving on a steed in war. The invitation is to follow the King of Glory as he enters Jerusalem and stay with him all the way to Calvary and the empty tomb. Once again, I invite you to join us for the liturgies of this most holy week of the Church year. The CORRECTED schedule for our liturgies is in this bulletin.

(Please note that the Mass on Holy Thursday is at 7:00 pm, NOT the time mentioned in last week’s bulletin.)

PARISH OFFICE HOURS

Please call ahead to check Tuesday hours as this is

usually our staff meeting day. Thank you!

Religious Education & Family Ministry Fifth Sunday of Lent Reflection: Jesus shows us how life and death are not opposite but closely linked. The life of a plant requires that a seed is buried in the ground, so it can sprout and produce fruit. At times, we might need to give up something that is important to us to help another person. We put somebody else’s

needs above our own. Those actions will bear fruit. A new way of being in the world shines through. When have you felt stronger because you sacrificed something for a friend or member of your family? When and in what way have you seen life come from death? Prayer intention: Lord give us your grace that our life may bear fruit. Lenten Journey: How can our acts of service and kindness, our prayers and smiles bear fruit for others? Commit to doing something for a family member, friend, or neighbor. Lenten Family Prayer: Our parish put up simple wooden outdoor Stations of the Cross next to the church. You may bring your family any time to pray the Stations. Contact us if you need station booklets.

Jesús padeció y murió por nosotros

Marcos 14: 1-15, 47

Jesús vino a vivir con nosotros en la tierra como un Mesías pacífico, no como el rey guerrero por el que la gente había orado y esperado durante generaciones. Cuando Jesús entró en Jerusalén en un burro, demostró una vez más que era un humilde Príncipe de Paz, el Rey de Gloria. Jesús entró en Jerusalén recibido por una multitud gozosa, pero sabia que pronto sufriría y moriría. Él voluntariamente iba a su Muerte por nuestros pecados por amor a nosotros. El sufrimiento y la Muerte de Jesús son el sacrificio máximo y el signo más seguro del amor de Dios por nosotros. Pero la obra de salvación de Jesús comenzó con su humilde Nacimiento, continuó a través de sus enseñanzas y Milagros, y culminó en el Misterio Pascual: Pasión, Muerte, Resurrección y Ascensión de Jesús. • ¿Cómo te han ayudado tus compromisos cuaresmales a recordar los sacrificios que hizo Jesús? • ¿Quién se sacrifica por ti? Da gracias a esa persona y reza por ella durante la Semana Santa

Pflaum: Venture (March 14, 2021)

El tema de la Campaña Anual de la Diócesis de San Diego (ACA) este año es: Renovando la Esperanza. Qué apropiado es este tema en un año que ha sido testigo de tanta miseria y sufrimiento. Muchos de nuestros hermanos y hermanas están luchando no solo por su salud, sino también emocional y económicamente. Los que podemos ayudar a los necesitados tenemos una maravillosa oportunidad de hacerlo a través del ACA.

La Campaña ayudará a financiar la formación y el cuidado de nuestros sacerdotes, que son los pastores de nuestras parroquias en este tiempo de sufrimiento y renovación. Apoyará a nuestras escuelas católicas y programas de formación de fe, que traen esperanza y fe a nuestros jóvenes. También apoyará nuestra oficina diocesana de matrimonio, vida familiar y espiritualidad en su enfoque de fortalecer a la familia en este momento clave de nuestra historia. Apoyará a Caridades Católicas en ayudar aquellos que han sufrido más gravemente la devastación social y económica del año pasado.

Gracias por todo lo que pueda contribuir para que, como parte de la Iglesia del condado de San Diego, podamos seguir llevando esperanza a los que sufren. Hay sobres especiales para esta colecta en la oficina parroquial. Si le gustaría recibir uno por correo, llame al 760-729-2866.

St. Patrick Church Palm Sunday of the Passion of the Lord Page Five

In this final week of the Women’s History Month, we highlight another woman saint who had a powerful impact on the spread of the Catholic faith in our country. St. Rose Philippine Duchesne, R.S.C.J. Missionary to Native Americans St. Rose Philippine Duchesne was a passionate young woman with a heart for missionary work. A native of France, she joined the

Visitation nuns at the age of 19, but a few years later, convents were shut down during the French Revolution, and Rose was forced to return to life as a lay woman for many years. Ten years later, she was finally able to rejoin a convent, this time as a member of the Society of the Sacred Heart. In 1818, she was sent to the Louisiana Territory as a missionary, facing illness, hardship and hunger to bring Catholicism to the Native Americans. She opened the first free school for girls west of the Mississippi river, as well as the first Catholic school for Native Americans. She was known among the Pottawatomie Indians as the "Woman Who Prays Always."

MENTAL HEALTH CORNER — Understanding Depression by Lorena Ramírez Key Facts: According to the World Health Organization, more than 264 million people worldwide of all ages suffer from depression. Depression is a leading cause of disability worldwide. It affects more women than men and can lead to suicide.

According to the National Institute of Mental Health, an estimated 17 million adult Americans suffer from depression during any 1 year. Depression is a real illness and carries a high cost in relationship problems, family suffering, and work productivity. However, depression is a highly treatable illness.

What is Depression? Depression is a mental disorder with the presence of common features such as sadness, emptiness, or irritable mood, accompanied by somatic and cognitive changes that significantly affect the individual’s capacity to function. Some of the Criteria for a diagnosis listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) are:

Depressed mood, feeling down or hopeless. Markedly diminished interest or pleasure in doing things. Sleep and eating disturbances. Feeling tired or loss of energy Feelings of worthlessness or excessive or inappropriate guilt Trouble thinking or concentrating. Being lethargic or the opposite, being so fidgety or restless. Thoughts that you would be better off dead or of hurting yourself.

There are several depressive disorders listed in the DSM-5, but what differs among them is the duration, timing, and presumed etiology. Depression can affect any type of person at any stage of their life. Although you may feel alone in your struggle against depressive moods, the truth is that many people experience these moods from time to time or even consistently. It is estimated that 1 in every 4 people experience a significantly depressed mood at some point in their life.

Why is it Important to Pay Attention to these Signs? Because depression, like any other health condition, if leaves untreated, gets worst. Depression is a complicated condition, and so are the people it affects. You or a loved one may be feeling down for different reasons or situations. If you can handle it, there are few things listed below that might help, but if your depression is more significant than having a “blue day,” you want to consult with a mental health provider.

Palm Sunday of the Lord’s Passion – Year B Gospel at the Procession with Palms (Mark 11:1-10 or John 12:12-16) Jesus enters Jerusalem as the crowds shout, “Hosanna!”

First Reading (Isaiah 50:4-7) The Lord’s servant will stand firm, even when persecuted.

Responsorial Psalm (Psalm 22:8-9,17-18,19-20,23-24) A cry for help to the Lord in the face of evildoers

Second Reading (Philippians 2:6-11) Christ was obedient even to death, but God has exalted him.

Gospel Reading (Mark 14:1—15:47) (shorter form: Mark 15:1-39) Jesus is sentenced to death and crucified. The centurion who witnessed his death declared, “This man was the Son of God.” Background on the Gospel Reading This Sunday, called Palm or Passion Sunday, is the first day of Holy Week. Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and the Easter Vigil on Holy Saturday are called the Triduum—three days that are the highlight of the Church year. There are two Gospels proclaimed at today’s Mass. The first Gospel, proclaimed before the procession with palms, tells of Jesus’ triumphant entrance into Jerusalem. Riding on a borrowed colt, Jesus was hailed by the crowds as they blessed God and shouted “Hosanna!” This event is reported in each of the four Gospels. At the Liturgy of the Word on Palm Sunday, the events of Jesus’ passion are proclaimed in their entirety. In Lectionary Cycle B, we read the passion of Jesus as found in the Gospel of Mark. We will hear these events proclaimed again when we celebrate the Triduum later in the week. On Good Friday, we will read the passion of Jesus from the Gospel of John. In Mark’s Gospel, Jesus’ passion and death are presented as the consequence of the tension between the Jewish authorities and Jesus that had been building throughout his public ministry. This tension reached its breaking point when Jesus drove the merchants and moneychangers from the Temple. After this event, the chief priests and scribes began seeking a way to put Jesus to death, and yet, this is only the surface explanation for his death. When Jesus was arrested and brought before the Sanhedrin—the council of Jewish priests, scribes, and elders—he was charged with blasphemy, citing his threat to the Temple. When he was brought before Pilate, however, the religious authorities presented his crime as a political one, charging that Jesus claimed to be king of the Jews. In continuity with a theme of Mark’s Gospel, the messianic claim of Jesus is widely misunderstood. In Mark’s Gospel, Jesus’ disciples are rarely models of faith and do little to invoke confidence in their capacity to continue his ministry after his death. They fare no better in Mark’s narrative of Jesus’ passion and death. At the Last Supper, the disciples insisted that none among them would betray Jesus. When Jesus predicted that their faith would be shaken in the events ahead, Peter and the other disciples protested vehemently. Yet in the garden of Gethsemane, Jesus returned three times to find them sleeping. Jesus prayed in agony over his impending fate while his disciples slumbered through the night. Just as Jesus predicted, Peter denied Jesus, and the disciples were absent during Jesus’ passion and death. Only the women who had been followers of Jesus in Galilee are said to have been present at the Crucifixion, but they remained at a distance. Throughout this Gospel, Mark challenges the reader to consider the claim with which the Gospel begins: Jesus is the Son of God. When we read Mark’s account of the passion, we begin to comprehend the deeper theological statement being made about Jesus’ death. In Mark’s telling of the passion narrative, Jesus understood his death to have been preordained, and he accepted this death in obedience to God’s will. Jewish Scripture is quoted only once, but there are several references to the fulfillment of the Scriptures. Jesus understood his anointing in Bethany as an anticipation of his burial, and he announced that this story would be told together with the Gospel throughout the world. Jesus predicted his betrayal by Judas as well as Peter’s denial. At his arrest, Jesus acknowledged that the preordained time had arrived. Jesus was both confident and silent before his accusers. After he was sentenced to death, Jesus did not speak again until his final cry from the cross. The bystanders misunderstood and believed that he was calling for Elijah. The Roman centurion, however, affirmed what Mark has presented throughout this Gospel: Jesus is the Son of God. Nowhere was this revealed more fully than in his death on the cross. During Holy Week, we prayerfully remember the events of Jesus’ passion and death. As we meditate on the cross, we ask again and anew what it means to make the statement of faith that Jesus, in his obedient suffering and dying, revealed himself to us as God’s Son.
